About Lavinia by Ursula K. Le Guin
Ursula K. Le Guin’s Lavinia reimagines the largely silent figure from Virgil’s Aeneid. Lavinia narrates her own story, bringing a woman’s perspective to the legendary events surrounding Aeneas and the origins of Rome.
Blending historical fiction with classical mythology, the novel considers voice, fate, war, identity, and the limits of mortal life. It suits readers interested in literary retellings, Roman legend, epic poetry, and Le Guin’s thoughtful approach to overlooked characters.
